BLAST AWAY!!! DESPITE NOLEN PARK RESIDENTS' COMPLAINTS BLASTING TO CONTINUE!
Hello! Nolen Park People! No state violations
of blasting were found by State Fire Marshal
and ATF investigation. It appears your comp-
laints have been filed in the "round" file
secure and away from your eyes.
Surprised? Not! State Law allows blasting non-
stop in Nolensville 7 am to 7pm! No need to fret
law requires contractor to blow his horn 9 times
before the blast and once after the blast.
Why after the blast you ask?
Well the contractor is supposed to examine the
blast site for unexploded dynamite and then sound
the all-clear.
Do they do this site exam? Who knows?
According to state officers assigned to check out
contractors NO! They had the same problem with
Bent Creek where it appears too many times the
all clear never happened? Too many times bull-
dozers drive over explosives still in the ground
blowing them sky high!
Mayor has met with the "blasters" and they have
agreed on rock-solid stuff...like study potential
adoptions. Research tenative enforcements(over
coffee) in future on-site pre-construction meetings.
Also lobby State Legislators for more controls some-
where over the rainbow?
How's that for speedy solutions? Sleep tight Nolen
Park your Mayor has met the "blasters" head-on!
No more airborne rocks flying over-head until Monday
when blasting starts all over again.

Once again the town has no ordinance whatsoever to control blasting inside city limits by new home developers. How come we already know what our new mayor and team can do? Nothing! We can hear the blasting and see the rocks
fly. We have never heard a horn blast. Developers 16, Town O.
Did the contractor conduct pre-condition surveys of each of the homes that could be affected?
If not, sounds liek several homes may could have damage and lead to a class action lawsuit.
I don't see what the big deal is. I watched the segment on Channel 2 and read the article. The contractor has done nothing wrong. The town does not control the blasting, the state fire marshall does. The state fire marshall has been out to the site and said everything was OK. If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at someone who can do something about it, your state representatives. Complaining about the Mayor or the contractor is useless, and they are obeying the law!
Everyone in that area take pictures and videos of your foundations incase damage shows up later. You might have to prove damage was not already there.
To Nolensville Offcials these guys will not always play by the rules and had troubles else where.

Funny, I know we need protection as I lived off of Rockwood when the homes on Alec Court and Dortch ect. were being build and the area "blasted"; "flying rock went through neighbors house!!!! Same story; different time..... Wasn't pleasant then either.
